Yup. Works for most companies, since legal people tend to take (well-written and informed) documents seriously.

Seems like both a smart and honourable move.
Pretty sure backstage the picture will be rather uglier, tho'. Rev up your resumes, Delta webserfs

Similar in France, UK...without the 10%, hence the brief popularity in some supermarkets for 'smart' price tags that presumably were updated at same time as episode till. Seem to gave disappered tho...maybe got stolen too much

Very true. The French constitutional court gutted most of the legislation regarding "illegal" downloading and streaming so they've basically given up.

Nope. I did a load of work with GE as a consultant and nothing in Six Sigma was related to firing bottom 10%. That was more in the earlier days when Jack W fired a bunch of people. Some parts of GE, like Capital, were like that, but the industrial and medical divisions were pretty OK on the people management.

Hey works for me

Well wrote.

But are you suggesting that such decisions are not necessary?

I think OP was referring to recent purchase by the Gmen of a robotics company that, among other things, also does stuff for the military. The two use cases are so similar that i guess it makes sense to do codevelopment

Urm, if, as it sounds, you use your computer a lot for work, then why not get another screen and put it vertically?
Or invest in a swivel arm. I have two big screens on such, hooked up to a docking station for my laptop.
It's an amazing boost in both comfort and productivity.

This shit gets modded up?

They're talking about stability control, not traction control.

I drive an old Mercedes, with mechanical fuel injection and well...mechanical everything.
The active safety is good, (I've upgraded the brakes and suspension) and Merc were among the first to design-in crumple zones, so passive not too bad.
OK, I've no airbags...

Not being a nutty survivalist, just like having a car where I can fix everything myself, and no fucker with an EMP device, or anything else for that matter, is going to stop me.

Cost over the years (including fuel?), less than replacing it regularly with something "better".
 

You're both kidding, right?
Nobody serious, intelligent and - yes - educated would pretend that a meaningful post-grad qualification in either subject could be gained from reading just one book. Or even many books.
Having done both, I'm certain that the contributions of my lecturers and fellow-students were far more important than the texts.
And of course, just not technically..the social aspect is equally important.

Bullshit. Process excellence means you deliver the quality your customer us prepared to pay for, consistently.
Hence quality us not expensive, at all.

Yeah, on the other hand learning spelling and grammar is a good investment.

Truely "news for Nerds". Brings back fond memories of building 'scope and staring at the skies with my father.
This man has drive, dedication and the ability to both conceptualise and physically realise his dreams.

Instead of bullshit "surveys" with no-longer-funny "CoboyNeal" options, here's a serious suggestion - how about we instigate the /. annual "Nerd" awards?

Fuck it, this is going way offtopic, but I don't care...categories anyone?
